A GOVERNMENT employee was killed while two others were wounded when they were shot and stabbed by three armed men the other day in Bago City, Negros Occidental.

The victim who died while undergoing treatment in a hospital was identified as Arnel Rubaton, employee of Bago City Hall.

Taken to the nearest hospital for treatment were Wilfredo Rubaton and Romie Rubaton, both relatives of the fatality and residents of Bgy. Mailum in the said city.

Police Regional Office (PRO) 6 director Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz Jr.  said the incident occurred at around 7 p.m. in Bgy. Mailum.
